A monospaced, typewriter-like serif with compact proportions and a steady, mechanical rhythm. Letterforms are built from sturdy verticals and slabby terminals, then deliberately disrupted by rough, eroded edges and uneven ink spread, creating a worn print texture. Curves and counters stay generally clear, but the outlines show consistent nicks, wobble, and blotting that vary slightly from glyph to glyph while keeping alignment and spacing uniform.
Works well for headlines, subtitles, and short passages where a vintage typed or weathered-print effect is desired—film and game title cards, poster design, album artwork, and faux-document props. It can also support editorial pull quotes or packaging accents when the goal is a tactile, imperfect texture rather than crisp body-text rendering.
The distressed texture reads as analog and timeworn, evoking old documents, carbon copies, and battered signage. Its tone feels gritty and utilitarian with a hint of mystery, balancing legibility with an intentionally imperfect, tactile surface.
Likely designed to capture the recognizable structure of a classic monospaced typewriter face while adding a deliberately degraded, ink-worn layer. The goal appears to be reliable alignment and readability paired with an aged, printed patina for thematic, atmospheric typography.
Numerals and capitals maintain strong presence thanks to the squared-off serif treatment, while the lowercase retains a straightforward, workmanlike construction suited to continuous text. The consistent character width reinforces a disciplined grid, making the roughness feel like printing wear rather than casual handwriting.
